Zappi's Gran Fondo 2015

Zappi’s Cycling Club has a late season challenge for all riders, as we return to thoughts of our annual Gran Fondo.

Join us Sunday, 18 October 2015 for our 4th annual sportive challenge.

Zappis love to be stylish, and the classic Italian races like the Tour of Lombardia are our inspiration. This year’s Gran Fondo will have a true festival-like experience, as Zappi’s CC brings you a month long celebration of sportive riding, cyclo-cross and hill climbs. There will be fun for the whole famiglia!

Sign-up today and join us in our brand new venue in Kirtlington, and take advantage of Flavio’s specially designed routes including:

The Gran, Medio (and back by popular demand) the Piccolo. Full route details will be announced here soon
All routes are suitable for first-timers and experienced riders alike
Enjoy the rolling and scenic countryside of the Cotswolds
Challenge yourself as we head back to Fish Hill one more time

Before and after the ride, you can take in our sponsors’ marquees, showcasing a range of cycling and sports supplies. And no sportive would be complete without a full-service Italian coffee bar, pizza van and post-sportive massage.

At the start:

• Free car parking
• Changing rooms and loos
• Bike check and mechanic
• Real coffee, good food

On the route:

• Fully signed routes with well-stocked feed stations
• Electronic timing with printouts
• Mobile mechanical support
• Medical support
• Sag/broom wagon
• ZAPPI, Gold, Silver and Bronze timing standards

Back at HQ:

• Awesome Goody Bags
• Food (lots of it)
• Masseur
• more real (organic, Fairtrade) coffee
• Pizza!
• Plenty of cover if the weather isn’t great
• Plenty of open space if it is
• Loos/changing rooms (M & F)

This event would not be made possible without the fantastic volunteer support provided by our club members and their families and friends.
